GeomXkcdPath: fuzzy path/circle geom (XKCD style)

Description

A ggplot2 geom that draws jittered, smoothed paths or fuzzy circles. It expects aesthetics like 'x', 'y', and either 'xend'/'yend' (for segments) or 'diameter' (for circles). Additional aesthetics (colour, alpha, linewidth, linetype) are respected.

Usage

geom_xkcdpath(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  xjitteramount = 0.01,
  yjitteramount = 0.01,
  mask = TRUE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping	Aesthetic mapping.
data	Data frame.
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer.
position	Position adjustment.
...	Other arguments passed on to layer().
xjitteramount	Horizontal jitter amount for segments.
yjitteramount	Vertical jitter amount for segments.
mask	Logical; if TRUE draws a thicker white mask path under the main path.
show.legend	Show legend.
inherit.aes	Whether to inherit aesthetics from the plot.
